ToggleInstructions:
1. Marinate the Steak:
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lime juice, fajita seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Add the sliced steak to the bowl, tossing to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge for extra flavor, or cook immediately if you’re short on time.
2. Prep the Vegetables:
- Slice the red and green bell peppers and onions into thin strips.
- Add the vegetables to a separate bowl and toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
4. Air Fry the Steak and Veggies:
- Place the marinated steak slices and vegetables in the air fryer basket in an even layer. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Cook at 400°F for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
5. Assemble the Fajitas:
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet.
- Once the steak and veggies are cooked, serve them in the tortillas with your choice of toppings like guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime.
